| edit | Breaker Panel | all |
- We have a bunch of breaker panels, some are not obviuous to find, and some are not even in our space but control some of our circuits.
- Would be nice to encode each as infrastructure tool, with location, and with at least the most unexpected info about them documented on the page.
- If we build this we might want to consider instructions such as whether a popped breaker is a cause for a near miss, since it generally means something went wrong, and it would allow us to track any patterns. Could put QR on panels to incident form.

We have a Clean Work Table Policy We also have "26. CLEAN WORK TABLE POLICY" in https://northforge.ca//wp-content/uploads/2023/01/North-Forge-Safety-Manual-Winnipeg_Oct.21-22.pdf or is that old?
They actually touch on various things, and many of them are relevant in other contexts. So, we may not need this policy if the other places contain the info we need.
If you agree that these address all of the clean worktable policy then could we eliminate it as its own policy?
If we agree that it can go, we need to re-define Member Council Clean Work Table Lead. | 2024-09-14 4:59:47 AM |
| edit | CNC Spoilboard Storage | all |
- I think that longer-term storage in this cart is OK - some members have products that they sell regularly and would require a custom spoilboard/fixture. How should we handle this? Maybe ask that they "renew" by labelling freshly every 30 days, so old unused boards do not get forgotten
- I have started to do that, but that means contacting people every 30 days only to have them choose the easy route of "yes still need it". The cart is full now, so we kind of need a different way. Ttenbergen (talk) 11:18, 2024 August 13 (CDT)

| edit | Compressed air gun | all |
- We have an SWP for this. The SWP does not include all of the allowed scenarios. One such scenario is allowing members to use compressed air system to blow off chips in wood (i.e. maps) that otherwise is very hard to impossible to blow it out any other way. Other ways have been proven to be impossible as it breaks the product. Other similar scenarios are acceptable.
- there is discussion by the Safety Committee on what should be permitted as of 2024-10. Ttenbergen (talk) 12:28, 2024 October 15 (CDT)

| edit | Emptying dust extractors and vacuums | all | We need a page for this!
Maybe the following will work.
- John and Tina should talk about discussions onthe wiki, there are several options.
- I meant this page almost as a general precautions page. The things you wrote are great and should be the instructions for the individual tools I think - for some I don't have pages yet. But my concern was more that we fuss to collect dust at the source but then make messes disposing of the dust. Are there best practices? For example, the bag in the wide belt sander extractor is so large to be just about unmanageable. And even for the others, beating out a vacuum filter on the inside of the garbage can releases a lot of dust. So, what is our deal? This might be related to the use of compressed air to clean things discussion.

| edit | Eye Wash Station | all |
We'll either need to find a way to link this to most rooms, or better yet, make it eye hazard dependent and link it that way... TT needs to think about this some more.
- There is a maps functionality for the wiki, and it can use any base map we want with coordinates. So we would be able to display e.g. tools or safety equipment via coordinate. I had thought about adding this initially but decided not to follow that squirrel for now. Let me know if I should reconsider that. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:42, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
Rooms and locations listed for convenience, there's probably a better way to do this in terms of the Wiki. John has also taken photos of the locations in case that's helpful later.
- That would be helpful later, because for the map we would probably encode each as its own "tool" (even if that stretches that category a bit), so a photo on there would be helpful. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:42, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
| 2024-08-14 3:42:23 AM |
| edit | Eye Wash Station | all | Doug pointed out that we may not have good documentation on these, let's change that. Here is a start...
This should contain instructions on how to use the eye wash stations. It should probably also include whom to notify, and a link to the incident form, since use of a wash station would warrant a form. Maybe the form is how we find out that they were used, too.
As much as that is internal info, I think it might also be good to add if we have spares on hand, and possibly where we get them. | 2024-08-14 3:42:23 AM |

- looks like we are using that box cart on 1 for garbage now. Is that a thing?
- guidelines about breaking things down so there are no sharp corners and max sizes for hard stuff in bags
- guidelines about securing bags with sawdust and not overfilling them so they aren't too heavy to put in the collection bin
- food garbage restrictions
- replace lids where present, either for safety as in metal room, or or fruit flies elsewhere

How would one assess the "as required"? dust in the air remains after a previous member leaves, right? So how would a member know when not to use a respirator in there? I can see where Fred is only required when welding or similar, so maybe it should not be a room level precaution but specific to tools like welders? Ttenbergen (talk) 22:59, 2024 August 13 (CDT)
- Where do you see "as required"? Mstapley (talk)
- I meant the "may require". If we put particles in the air they don't just affect the person using a specific tool, and not only for the duration of tool use. The smaller a particle the deeper it can get into the lungs and the longer it will be suspended, and some of the smallest stay suspended for hours or days. My quote "as required" may have been from before John updated this to clarify as per next line. Ttenbergen (talk) 13:59, 2024 October 3 (CDT)
- Updated to clarify what is required at all times vs what may be required John Hache (talk)
- Some other equipment prohibits the use of gloves. I think this section should only have the requirement for the whole room, e.g. respirators in the woodworking room. I can't think of any hazard in this room like that, short of the facility-wide requirement to wear steel toed shoes.

| edit | Metalworking Room | all | Safety Marney
I changed that a bit, but really still not sure if it's reasonable. You may be working there and then someone else shows up and starts to work. Should you stop what you are doing and chat with them? I would not even notice they are there. So maybe the answer is, expect a hazard and wear the appropriate PPE in this space. | 2024-10-15 6:37:22 PM |

I just had a look at both the general concept of LOTO and our submission for it. I have misunderstood it a bit, I thought it was what workers need to do to flag broken and dangerous equipment to stop others from using it. It now sounds like it is really only a maintenance related concept. We still need the member lockout process but we might need two different concepts and sets of instructions. Thoughts? Ttenbergen (talk) 15:50, 2024 October 21 (CDT)
- I knew of the other context for it, where you're trying to prevent others from activating the equipment when you're working on it and injuring you, but still used the same term for both types. All equipment would need procedures to temporarily disable a tool. Would we only need the stricter LOTO procedure for larger equipment? Someone wouldn't be able to turn on any small equipment while you're working on it directly... John Hache ([[User talk[John Hache|talk]]) 19:25, 2024 October 21 (CDT)
- A lot of the current instructions require the lockout kits Jeff and I have, so we would need to tweak these for the user lockout since they would not have those.

- I have some outlook tasks, Jeff has many things in his head. A lot of the maintenance is by looking at it and saying, yup, looks like it needs it. Break-fixes generally come from Slack broken. Jeff tracks tasks completed as part of some timekeeping app that can export data but it is pretty much non-structured. I track some tasks completed in outlook as part of scheduling the next round.

Additional file formats: I know what a wiki is supposed to do WRT documentation but can we also upload files like instruction manual PDFs so that for tools that don't have any training or documentation that there's still a user manual they can consult, even if the contents of the PDF aren't searchable by the wiki? There's a space for a link to the manual but every few months/years there seems to be a shakeout/reorg at some company and products go from "supported" to "archived" or are dropped entirely and the link no longer works. Thoughts? Mpatryluk (talk) 01:03, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
- I am worried that by allowing .doc and .pdf file formats we will end up with content uploaded that should be integrated. I was trying to preempt that fight by keeping those turned off. You make a good point about link rot. Simply uploading someone else's .pdf file holds copyright questions, too. Might need further discussion. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:07, 2024 September 7 (CDT)

What are our recommendations for returning members?
At some point there was talk about re-training being available for free for previously trained members, as long as they don't require an extra sesssion. Did we ever formalize that?
- Emelia follows a process for recurring members needing to take safety and orientation again. If we have new equipment and process changes since the member last was a member, traing is always mandatory before they can use the equipment again. This is usually proficiency. Mstapley (talk)
- That sounds like quite a decision Emelia has to make there. Would she be sufficiently in the loop to know if e.g. the welding training has changed since that particular person was last a member? Is there documentation around this?
Ttenbergen (talk) 20:59, 2024 October 16 (CDT)

In many ways this is the only consistent onboarding some members will get. Tempting to tell them everything then. But the more we add, the less will stick. So we'll need to decide how to balance that. EG could some of the specifics be pushed to the initial safety portion of room level training rather than being handled at the initial safety orientation? Which? And can we ensure trainers actually do it? | 2024-10-17 1:47:42 AM |
| edit | Safety Orientation | all |
Is it a good idea to include an overview of more specific hazards that might only apply to operators?

- No, but we might want to have guidelines for member storage, maybe encourage people to store chemicals in secondary containers in case of spill, ID things that we don't want stored at North Forge if any, that sort of thing

| edit | Safety Orientation | all |
This is currently organized in the same way that you would conduct the orientation in person - that means facility-wide information like air gun use is nested under certain rooms. Does it make sense to keep this page organized that way?
- I think we can do better. Will need to figure out the details. Tool hazards will have a field to say if they affect the room. Maybe all room level hazards should be discussed? Or should we have an additional value for that field "Room and Orientation" to put them here? Or are they two separate things?
- A more productive approach is to figure out what the safety orientation should theoretically contain, then fill out this page to match that. Right now the checklist contains things that would be better handled during training.

| edit | Safety Orientation | all | Do all visitors need to sign a waiver as well? | 2024-10-17 1:47:42 AM |
| edit | Safety Orientation | all | does it explain how to record materials when using the Paint Room Fume Extractor, or what can be stored on the Paint Room Drying Shelf and for how long? The orientation covers information about recording materials, not sure about shelves | 2024-10-17 1:47:42 AM |
